I am a raging alcoholic and a raging addict and I didn't want to see my kids do the same thing.

Friendship makes prosperity more brilliant, and lightens adversity by dividing and sharing it.

The trouble is that people seem to expect happiness in life. I can't imagine why; but they do. They are unhappy before they marry, and they imagine to themselves that the reason of their unhappiness will be removed when they are married. When it isn't they blame the other person, which is clearly absurd. I believe that is what generally starts the trouble.

People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.

Between friends there is no need of justice.

I get by with a little help from my friends.

People are like dirt. They can either nourish you and help you grow as a person or they can stunt your growth and make you wilt and die.

Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things, does the heart find its morning and is refreshed.

Books like friends, should be few and well-chosen.

What was more, they had taken the first step toward genuine friendship. They had exchanged vulnerabilities.

You don't live in a world all alone. Your brothers are here too.

I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I don't believe I deserved my friends.

Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity

Our most intimate friend is not he to whom we show the worst, but the best of our nature.

The more you let yourself go, the less others let you go.

We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next-door neighbour.

The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.

The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends.

We should behave to our friends as we would wish our friends to behave to us.

A good friend will always stab you in the front.
